Theft, looking for some ideas

[mr james]

Short story, friend across road, had some stuff taken from his Audi, so looking back on my camera, some, well not so clever guy had a try at mine, yes blind side, look like he had a key, but didn't open it, yip we don't use the key so the flap had score marks ( you know, where the dust has been moved)
Mine ain't worth a lot of bucks, in fact a few pennies but I want to keep it.
So a bit temp, I think you call it kidknowledgy, while I think/ look at something!?
All thoughts would be appreciated

So it looks like the threat is stealing from the vehicle rather than the vehicle itself. There are various window alarm stickers available on ebay/Amazon which could be a cheap way of putting less sophisticated crims off.

Make sure it is or at least looks empty and keep it well lit up
It’s not usual for anyone to try keys these days ?
As for the bus itself, steering disc locks put a hell of a lot of thieves off ( too much work )

As for the bus itself, steering disc locks put a hell of a lot of thieves off ( too much work )

Disk that covers whole wheel is good, the stick type light locks are useless

I can understand keeping the low life scum from getting into the van and nicking stuff, but as to taking the whole van are they worth it ?

Thanks for some ideas, probably get either a steering wheel or a wheel clamp, probably the wheel clamp

Nicking stuff from bus, a 12v fan £7, bottle of water £1, dash cam £30, about £4 in change 2p, 5p 10p 20p, in the glove box some tissues.
In the back a large fridge you'll need a motor to put it in, so clearly not a lot, the van itself is worth quite a lot in parts, if you have somewhere to keep it, but I do agree it ain't worth stealing, but some guy thinks something is!!!

Google car companion.

Select an aggressive looking model and keep him seated in the Van.

Nobody will look in your Van if there is someone sat in it.


Change the newspaper for a Chainsaw…

I'd upload the video but having some issues with this app, well let's face it, ai seems to take over every thing, at least I've got a bit at mo, struggling with everything I do on this phone, well I guess it could be me, not agreeing with everything.
Just might go back to old school.
Just today the bank app updated, tried to force payment through phone, not card, yes digital, some call it progress, I call it loss of control.
Sorry for rabbiting on.
I guess I'm getting old, out off date, or I'll just put my money under my mattress.

As for the doll, well the back windows are black out, the good point in this, is I saw what happened, so I have time to think on what to do, personal I'd like to put an electric shock through the handle, a bit hair raising, ho ho as Santa says
